Vasgo - sorry to tell you but anyone can look up your user details simply by clicking on your name. Those user details are not private. then perhaps you might wish to clarify the details of my 'nick' with those that admin jafo felt he had the right to disclose kona0197. if my partner had wished
So...to hold an opposing view, one that reflects the opinion of the site's contributors [skinners] in general is now 'pompous self-righteousness'? i believe that description was used to describe your own conduct specifically admin jafo; an observation that your behavior would seem to so eloquently support.
Word of advice: It is not wise to anger Jafo and what relevance does that have to this conversation kona0197 other than to reinforce the authoritarian nature that has come to characterise this discourse?
I think you are defending (or trying to justify) your undoubtedly large collection of stolen music, movies and software. Is that plain enough for you? it would seem cougenet that it is enough for you and others in this discussion to simply 'think' things are a certain way for them to be true wi
So...you are not who you say you are.. and exactly who do i say i am admin jafo? i do not believe i have at any time attempted to deny i am anything i am not. the very fact that i chose to address your assumption about my nationality would bespeak this. the fact that this is neither my computer,
appearances can be deceiving admin jafo. this is neither my computer nor is that my name, gender or nationality. such is the nature of assumptions non?
and haven't we already been through this? i believe you are taking me out of context admin jafo. that reply was self-evidently directed towards cougent which i am sure he is quite capable of answering himself. the context of your own argument however remains the same. as long as you
Perhaps it is something that comes with age to be able to see (not agree with) multiple sides of an issue. Perhaps it is just a talent of the young to be able to see only one side and know it is right simply because they want it to be. since you choose to quote me cougent i assume your observati
Having a website or providing a way where such material is been exchange makes a person liable. which part of that sentence do you think doesn't quite resonate with the court ruling apocalypse67?
The difficulty isn't moral or ethical it's simply logistical. why yes admin jafo. it would seem you have the capability of grasping the finer nuances of this argument afterall. however, as the court ruling implies, the solution, or 'logistics' as you put it, involved in resolving this issue i w
it is not a difficult explication admin jafo. finer nuance is not simply a 'cute term for finding the spin of justification for property theft'. rather this is yet another reductionist reading on your part of a situation that is far more complex. if the mgm vs grokster case were so straight forward an affair of theft as you and others have repeatedly tried to suggest then the court would have ruled otherwise and p2p software/filesharing would now
'Finer nuance' is a cute term for finding the spin of justification for property theft. P2P in itself is not illegal. What it's most commonly used for is. that interpretation is subjective and entirely yours admin jafo. according to the court ruling however, which afterall is one aspect
you are comparing apples to oranges. GM could make and advertise a Corvette that reaches 300 MPH that still does not change the country's speed limit... Common sense will tell a person that there are laws to abide by and the consequences of breaking those laws. it would appear you are not a little av
there would appear to be some inconsistencies regarding the ruling and the reality of the world in which we live sembetu. perhaps the issue isn't so black and white afterall. now there's a surprise.
Vasqo, age is irrelevant to anything mais oui apocalypse67. i could not agree more. however it was not i that has felt the continual need to define this discussion in terms of youth and age, us and them dualisms. my references are purely intentional but i'm sure you already knew that. one could think
For every technology there is a counter-technology. It is a constant game of "one upsmanship" really cougent. perhaps one cannot doubt your affinity for binaristic oppositions afterall. on the one hand you claim that p2p filesharing will be stopped and yet at the same time you state that for e
YOU might think you are head-bashing the rights of free-thought and free information exchange....but you are actually just failing to argue a free commodity market, where you are NOT a vendor at ANY price and therefore have no valid input. oh i don't know. somehow i don't think i need to defend
Information does not want. Information is. This is just a roundabout way of saying you don't want to pay. So far I've read denial, rationalization & justification for stealing. Now work on realization and acceptance and then you will be half way home towards being truly free. since you also choose to
Check back on that one in 20 years' time, oui?.... but i do not need to wait 20 years to understand what is already self-evident admin jafo. if one is to believe even conservative estimates file sharing is not confined to a 'minority'. it has gone mainstream as a cultural phenomena. as some of u
perhaps it is a generational thing. if knowledge is power then the flipside to file sharing is the freeing up of information enabled by the same digital technology that allows each of us to (potentially) make more informed decisions about the nature of the world rather than simply accepting the dominant discourse of the day. or to put it more succinctly, perhaps the 'new-gen' has the wit to know when they have and are being manipulate
In the big scheme of things, not being able to steal mp3s anymore hardly rates, does it? why no i suppose not. today's youth are so.. immoral. perhaps we need our own war to go off and fight. one that takes place in another country. against an enemy we know little about. and for specious reasons
and fey is in the mind of the beholder admin jafo. perhaps you are not a little 'out of step' yourself.
perhaps nail z bunny the need to take the moral highground and remind youth of their folly is something that comes with age. it gives one something to look forward to, non?
Communities often serve as ground breaking or platforms for individual to grow and expand in their unique fields. So just because a community (in this case the skinning community) started with individuals sharing their work freely doesn’t necessary means it's going to remain that way. gosh yes.
...They were not created to 'force' anyone to share their work. Each individual uploads his/her work willingly and by choice, and if they want to make a profit out of it, then that will also be their choice and everyone needs to respect that. You don’t have to purchase anything if you don’t want to, but don’t say it's wrong to
